Sarah Walker with a far-reaching musical mix
Sarah finds music that spans the globe, from an atmospheric arrangement of a 17th century Icelandic song, to a track sung by Marilyn Monroe.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, Sarah finds music that spans the globe, from an atmospheric arrangement of a 17th century Icelandic song, to a track sung by Marilyn Monroe.
She also explores how Mozart gets the most out of voices and instruments in one of his Litanies, and there’s intriguing harmony and sensitive melodic writing in a movement from Alan Hovhaness’s Sonata for harp and guitar: ‘Spirit of the Trees’.
Plus, Sarah discovers a recording of a harpsichord concerto by JS Bach that feels like it glows.
